2019+ Ford Ranger Wheel Specifications:

Center Bore: 93.1 mm
Bolt Pattern: 6×139.7 (6×5.5)
Wheel Offset: +55mm offset
Wheel Tightening Torque: 135 Nm
Thread Size: M12 x 1.5

6×139.7 / 6×5.5 Bolt Pattern Is Common:

The 6 lug 6×139.7 / 6×5.5 bolt pattern is common on many vehicles such as the 6 lug Toyota 4-Runner, FJ Cruiser, Sequoia, Tacoma, and Tundra, Nissan Armada, Titan, Frontier, Pathfinder, and Xterra, GMC 1500, Sierra, Yukon, Canyon, Hummer H3, H3T, and H3X, and Chevrolet Colorado, Avalanche, 1500, Suburban, Silverado, Cadillac Escalade, Ford Ranger and brand new Ford Bronco 2021+

The Chevy 1500 trucks have been using this pattern in their 4×4 models since 1967.

The difference between the various 6×139.7 / 6×5.5 wheels range from width, backspacing, and center bore. You might be ok with the width and back spacing (wheel offset), but the Ranger requires a center bore of at least 93.1 mm.

Measuring Wheels

Wheel Offset:

Wheel offset is considered the distance from the center of your wheel to its mounting surface, which is the part of the wheel that comes together with the rotor on installation. This measurement helps define where the wheel will sit and is typically measured in millimeters.

The higher the offset, the more inward the wheel will install, leading to a narrower vehicle stance and less clearance between the suspension and your tires inside edge. The lower the offset, the more outward it will install which leads to a wider vehicle stance and more clearance between tire and suspension. This, generally, is better for those who have added a suspension lift along with larger tires.

There are three types of offset – zero offset, positive offset, and negative offset.

Zero Offset: In a wheel with zero offset, the mounting surface of the wheel is on the centerline. The centerline is the centermost point of your wheel, if you were cutting it in half vertically.

Positive Offset: In a wheel with positive offset, the mounting surface of the wheel is to the outside of the wheel (on the street side). This is the most common scenario for newer, OEM setups. This offers maximum backspacing.

Negative Offset: In a wheel with negative offset, the mounting surface of the wheel is tucked back closer to the inside edge of the wheel, offering less backspacing, and a more “dished” wheel, popular in show cars and trucks.

Example of Wheel Offset:

(Left) Positive: When the mounting surface is in front of the centerline and closer to the outside rim than the back part of the wheel.
(Middle) Zero: When the mounting surface is right where the centerline is; this gives your wheels a centered look.
(Right) Negative: When the mounting surface is recessed past the centerline; this gives your wheels a deep 3D look.

Wheel Backspacing:

Backspacing: Backspacing refers to how much space there is between the back side of the wheel and the mounting surface of the wheel.

Rims with more backspace have less inside wheel clearance and can potentially rub up against the vehicle’s suspension, steering system and other vehicle components. Less backspace on a wheel means more inside wheel clearance and little risk of rubbing.

How To Measure Wheel Backspacing:

To measure backspacing, lay the wheel facedown. (Pro Tip: use a soft surface to protect the wheel face.) Place a solid, flat item, such as a board, across the wheel so that there’s a flat surface touching both sides of the wheel. Then, using a ruler or tape measure, measure the distance from the mounting surface to the base of the object.

What Will Fit Your Ford Ranger

What’s The Biggest Tire I Can Fit On A Stock Ranger?

I put a set of 265/70/17 mud terrains on a 2019 Ford Ranger FX4. The tires fit and didn’t rub on the intrusions beams (crash bars).

Stock: 265/65/17 (30.40×10.40×17)
Cooper Discoverer STT PRO’s: 265/70/17 (31.93×10.70×17)

Intrusion Beams

The anti-intrusion beams on new Ford trucks are intended for collision safety reasons. While important, the factory beams do not provide adequate room for tire clearance when installing larger tires after adding a lift kit. Some companies offer replacement intrusion beams that allow more room for larger tires. It may be necessary to replace your factory intrusion beams with new ones designed to provide more tire clearance.

See Readylift Intrusion Beams.
